HABS DROP 4 STRIAGHT, DUE TO BAD PLAY BY PRICE
Thought the game, the Montreal Canadiens were playing great hockey, but they got absolutely no help from Goalie Carey Price. Price was pulled from the game just 3 minutes into the second period after giving up 4 goals on 15 shots. Jarolslav Halak was put in goal, and he played a great game givinng up 1 goal on 24 shots in the 5-4 lose to the Senators. After the game Price was near tears about his performance. "I'm not happy about it, especially at this time of the year, you know. It's not very much fun," said Price, who's lost both of his previous two starts and battled the puck often Thursday against Ottawa. "I've got to take responsibility. I can't be letting goals in. It's a group effort, but I've got to play better."
Jasion Spezza had 2 goals in the Sens victory."We played a good game and they played pretty solid, too," Spezza said. "We had lots of chances, they had lots of chances, it was a bit of an open game, something that we haven't had lately, so it's a good game to win." Danelil Alferson and Jarko Ruttu also Scored for the Sens. Guillaume Latendresse had two goals for Montreal, Tom Kostopoulos had a goal and two assists and Alex Tanguay also scored."It just felt like the opportune time to try and get the momentum of the game stopped by changing goalies," Gainey said. "Halak took the brunt of the momentum when he went in the net. He faced four or five really difficult scoring opportunities and held us there. We did get back in the game." The Canadiens next game will be on Saturday against the Leafs.
